zravish whiskers, and wearing a pah OF
highly polished spectacles, leaned over the

Thirty dollars" promptly responded the
clerk
The passenger laid the gold on the coiMter
and the clerk pulled the ticket out Of the ease
and handed it toward him with well linked
pom

with a touch Of contempt in his tone and

"S.gn there, please
81 beg your pardon
"Slgn the ticket, please"
"No. sir: ! refuse. there is no law in tho
United States compelling me to sign a rail
road ticket. There is your mODy. Give me
the ticket"
The somewhat RULED ticket agent looked
at the passenger and then At the ticket, but
did not touch the mouey.

length

Then ID dawned upon tina rathor dazed mind
Of the young man behind the counter that De

preme court Of the United States He quietly
stamped the unsigned ticket, handel 10 % the
passenger with "a subdued air, and as hs put

relief from the sad detail, of the evidence.
He was born in Wcstford, w., Nov I, 1873,

Illustrating the judges happy union of
